CHICAGO, ILL, May 11-All conditions this
morning seemed to favor the bull side of the
market. Besides the cables there was report
of drouth in the west and northwest, and the
effect OF yesterdays government crop, which
showed a material decline in the condition of
the crop, had not yet worn away. June wheat
opened at $3.50 and advanced until 1t reached
$3.50. At this point the clique and long crowd
began selling wheat, and June dropped back to
S526c. In less than one hour after the opening
the clique had again. successfully MIXED the
crowd and marketed lot of wheat which cost
them S5c on Monday at $500 down to sec, &C
which point they stopped selling. After
prices got down TO Sc for June it remained
quiet and comparatively little trading was
done. Corn did net follow the same course as
wheas. Shorts in that product are very eau
tious and inclined to cover. June held steady
at 40Hc, the opening price, all the time wheat
was going down, and there were numerous
buyers at that figure. June ribs were weak,
and early in the day went down from 81 421E to-
81 So, but later recovered and advanced to 81 45.
